Dec 22, 2007Quickie Link: Transgender to Bare It All in Autobiography
By vanrozenheim
(India) - Rose (28), the first trangender in the country to host a television programme and the first one to openly advocate scientific sexual reconstruction surgery (SRS), has taken to the pen. Two leading publishing houses have evinced interest in publishing ‘her’ autobiography, tentatively titled ‘My Sexuality’. “Use the feminine pronoun when you write about me,” Rose tells DNA after sending the manuscript of the first chapter of her book to Penguin and Harper Collins, “because that is what I use for people of my ilk in my book”. Both the publishing houses, she says, have responded positively. The book will be of about 200 pages, in 14 chapters.
